Netanyahu voted for Hamas. He bragged repeatedly about making sure they got funded as part of his strategy on Gaza. He is far more culpable than any other single person for the attacks that people like to claim led to this genocide, ignoring that Hamas was founded in response to an Israeli settler doing a massacre in a mosque.
Cry harder, white supremacist clown. I live for your tears.
IME the very best information can't even be found in fora, it's on private mailing lists.
Back when I had a Nissan 240SX I was on such a list called the 240-list which was at least twice as good as any forum.
The public is just too problematic for people who actually know and do things.
"You young pup!"
Now I'm sad.
He used to do a one man show of a Christmas Carol on stage. I never got to see it, but I always imagined it being amazing (based on the fact that it happened more than once... if it were ass, it would not have recurred). While the source material is relatively friendly to the idea, one man shows are hard to do well.
Stephenson mentions this phenomenon in The Diamond Age, where as people approach higher strata, their news gets to look more the same so they're all on the same page. I have another proposal for why it would be such and why it's NOT desirable, though: the wealthy pissing down on us actually do tend to read the same shit in the real world... Because they have the same goal of treading upon us.
I have a crappy dynamic website and people do read it, though not as many as when Google search functioned. But I keep creating content, which helps.
Like most websites, Reddit is on a downward spiral. It got great, then compromised everything that made it that way for money. But the goose doesn't die all at once, so I guess there's some money to be made there before it crashes and burns.
Is it moral to blame victims?
I asked Gemini for a list of the mascots of schools in my county. This should be easy, right? LLMs are good at summarizing, right?
Nope. Gemini told me no such thing existed.
There was such a thing right below the AI response, in the traditional search results.
Google's AI search is complete shit, and anyone who thinks it's good is proving they are shit at searching.
The people who didn't care enough about it to vote were still voting... For anything to happen, they cared not what. They voted for chaos. We got it.
Except you don't want us to think about things you do think about, like supporting child rapists
The literal actual backbone of the Internet can be identified because the companies which provide it are literally called backbone providers and the links in question are literally called backbone links. HTH, HAND
The spurious "I'm" in there is from Google's allegedly AI-powered autocorrect in Android, which is obviously also shit. It's really amazing how incompetent they are today.
